The back-story is my guitar teacher wants he and I to work out a song based on the C scale. Keep in mind that I am a green beginner, slow learner, etc. (More about me if you click that globe button to the right under my profile picture.) He is only expecting me to find a chord progression I like by ...

Ok, don't beat me . . . Turns out the first chart I typed was wrong. OK, #1 it turns out is an A5, both strings fretted at the 2nd fret (not one on the first) SORRY! I was shown to make a Bdim from fretting the G and E on the first fret and strumming 4 strings X-X-0-1-0-1, but when I pick out the st...

I have a tune I have been working on, and I am getting pretty satisfied, so I am trying to transcribe it to paper. I can't find these shapes on a chord chart though. I am wondering if there is a web site with a neck where you click your finger placement spots and it tells you the chord? In the meant...

Thanks for letting me know what fingering patterns across the frets you all use. I mentioned to my instructor how it was difficult to make the stretch and he offer to try something else, but I told him I wanted to work on it for a couple of more weeks before considering that. I suspect that learning...

First of all, let me say that I am still visiting this site regularly to read new items in the beginners forum, and working with lessons - although, very slowly. A couple of times I thought to post an inquiry about one thing or another but figured I would get the (what I find a little frustrating) s...

For the benefit of those who may come behind me, here are the answers I found: 1. I think Blueline is correct; only purists will have an issue with an acoustic vs. acoustic/electric. 2. After looking all around for the Ibanez guitar original retail MSRP answer, I first; did not find it, and second, ...

I have two questions, and this is probably not the right forum, but I looked and I didn't see a better one - so... I think I might like a better acoustic guitar. Question 1: Does an acoustic guitar sound better than a acoustic/electric guitar of the same setup. I assume it makes no difference - but ...

I have experienced these same frustrations and also found that it was "I" who had to fix the situation. I came to my teacher a raw beginner back in January and the first two weeks were ok, but I quickly felt that there was no plan or goals. I would even directly ask where are we going, and the answe...

Hey, I was just having a look at your message and thinking I know so little myself that I would have to get tabs for the song and try it myself. Sounds cool, I think I will look for the tabs anyway. But getting back to your question . . . I have only been playing - or working on playing - since Janu...

I think many people start out with an inexpensive guitar because they are not sure that they can learn it or stick with it. Like exercise equipment, I think most guitars get used intensively for 6 months then collect dust for several years with the intention of returning to it. Finally they get recy...
